<title>evilwm - a minimalist window manager for the X Window System</title>
</head>

<body>
<h1>evilwm - we sold our souls to the window manager</h1>

<p>
A minimalist window manager for the X Window System.
</p>
<p>
'Minimalist' here doesn't mean it's too bare to be usable - it just means
it omits a lot of the stuff that make other window managers <em>un</em>usable.
Here is a list of features:
</p>
<ul>
<li>No window decorations apart from a simple 1 pixel border.</li>
<li>No icons.</li>
<li>Good keyboard control, including repositioning and maximise toggles.</li>
<li>Solid window drags (optional - may be slow on old machines).</li>
<li>Snap-to-border support (command line option).</li>
<li>Virtual desktops (compile time option).</li>
<li>Small binary size (even with everything turned on).</li>
<li>Reasonable <a href='standards.shtml'>EWMH support</a> (though not yet
fully compliant).</li>
<li>Configuration file read on startup.</li>
</ul>
<p>
Interested?  Why not <a href='install.shtml'>download and install</a> it and
then <a href='usage.shtml'>give it a go</a>?
</p>
